Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
BPC-157 is effective for healing soft tissue injuries.
The finding
What the evidence shows
BPC-157 has promising results in animal studies of tendon, ligament and muscle healing, but that has not been shown in people. A 2025 systematic review found 35 animal or lab studies and only one clinical study. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine says there is no high-quality clinical evidence in humans, and the drug is not FDA approved. Calling it effective, or the best option for soft tissue injuries, goes beyond the evidence.
